    The emergency state of things continues, but life goes on.  STEEL’S EDGE is finished and turned in to beta readers.  Gordon and I are considering a side project before going full force on Kate 6.  It’s a toss-up between funny UF with a broom and angst-ridden YA set in one of our established worlds.  The…

    Right now we’re ago going through some really difficult time in our family.  I think this might be the hardest thing we ever had to deal with.  So I thought I’d pull up some old posts and have a few Best of Blog reruns.  This is the first one. Originally posted January 15, 2009. So…

    We’re resuming the regular broadcasting, now that the contest is over.  Today will be a busy day.  We have to run around and go places and I really don’t want to.  I know exactly why – STEEL’S EDGE is entering home stretch.  At about 20K from the end, the book becomes a vampire: it just…

    Lark drank from a tiny cup, holding it with effortless grace.  Charlotte sat across from her.  In the three days she had spent with her, Lark soaked up information like a sponge.  She was a natural mimic in the best possible sense of the word – she imitated not only the action, but the air,…
